Bayside Council is honouring local women who made significant contributions to the WWI and WWII efforts through the display of ANZAC flags across the local area. or signup to continue reading The Anzac flags feature the images of eight local women who played a role during wartime. The eight women who feature on our ANZAC flags are Gwendoline Gregory from Bexley, Gwendolen Cohen from Ramsgate, Eileen Fazakerley from Bexley, Elsie Barker from Botany, Ruby Beard from Sans Souci, Nancy Cartwright from Eastlakes, Nita Hayes from Brighton-Le-Sands and Lilian Brennan from Botany.
More details of these women and their service can be found on Council's website. Bayside Council's local history team is also working on a series of projects focusing on women's contribution during war time to enhance the council's local history collection and ensure these remarkable women are remembered. The collected information will be preserved for further research, educational programs, and museum exhibitions, and will be accessible to the community, providing valuable insights into their role and impact on these pivotal times in history.
If you know a woman from the Bayside area who served during World War I or World War II, Bayside Council invites you to share her name, photograph, memorabilia and a brief story about her experiences. Submitting their stories will help preserve their legacy for future generations so these remarkable women are remembered and honoured for their extraordinary dedication.
